Algiers - sandwiched between desert and Med

It almost seems as if the Kasbah â€“ the old town of Algiers â€“ is climbing up the slopes of the coastal mountains to the north. Explore this labyrinth of hundreds of stairs and crooked lanes which was recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You will be amazed at just how untouched and intact this district still is and the friendly welcome given to visitors by the locals. The Algerian coastline extends for hundreds of kilometres and the mountains, sea and deserted beaches are everything you could wish for.
